what is the best "little" Spyderco?

I agree. I consider the Calypso jr and the Wegner jr medium knives. By "little" I mean dragonfly and navigator size.

Dragonfly, Dragonfly, Dragonfly!

Gimme a "D"! Gimme a "R"! Gimme an "A"! Well, you know the rest.

I came across a carbon Dragonfly, and was very happy and impressed, I occasionally carry it along with my Sebenza as a second knife. It even impressed my wife enough that she steals it from me from time to time. I'm looking to pick up a stainless or zytel version soon. Can't have enough great little knives like the Dragonfly.

Just like with guns - the best small knife is the biggest one you can carry

If you are carrying other blades - then the ladybug is nice to have and the Leatherman micra has a very useful blade in it too
 
My friend has a Cricket. Its a great little knife! It stays sharp, and is so small that you dont even notice it in your pocket. Anyway, that would be my vote.
 
The best little spyderco??

Well, I have a cricket and I love it, but the handle doesn't contour to my hand.

If you really want 1 small knife to cut just about anything, I would have to recommend the Serrated Navigator. I have used mine to cut everything including: rope, tiewraps, cardboard boxes, rubber shoe inserts, string, envelopes, carpet, and yes even grapes.

It has never failed me. The handle (either G10 or Alimite -- I own both) contours nicely to a medium size hand. The clip also doubles well as a money clip.
 
I'm impressed with the Walker Lightweight, at least the front half. Great blade. I just wish the handle had more "gravitas". Then, of course, it probably wouldn't be a Lightweight anymore. "Middleweight" would be OK.

It's always darkest before the dawn. So if you plan to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
 
I've got the Almite Walker. Very solid hefty little cutter. Slick butt nice. I removed the clip from this and the carbon fiber Dragonfly and they split carry time in my watchpocket(no way the coins/keys gonna mess them up)

About Pegasus vs. Navigator:
They are really NOT the same knife with different handle material. They look similar and they have almost identical dimensions, but if you handle both you will see that the Pegasus feels more "stubby", more "round", where the Navigator feels different in the hand and seems that it is a bit longer (without actually being more than a few millimeters longer).
I now have both, and I really feel that they are two different models. I know that you will hate me for this, but if you have one, maybe you should get the other also...
